First Wind

First Wind is an independent renewable energy company that develops and operates utility-scale power projects in the United States.[1] It was founded in 2002 and employs more than 220 people across the country.

Headquartered in Boston,[2] the company develops or operates renewable energy projects in Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts,[3] New York, Utah, Idaho, Washington and Hawaii with a combined capacity of nearly 1,300 megawatts.[4] In addition to renewable energy projects, the company developed and operates two generator leads.

First Wind began as a utility-scale wind power developer and operator, but in 2014 the company brought its first solar energy projects online.[5]

In November 2014 First Wind was purchased by TerraForm, a publicly traded subsidiary of SunEdison, for $2.4 billion.[6]
